24 Jan Creating a Measurable Marketing Strategy Across Cultures
Assignment Goal and Thought Process
Goal: You are a business that is conducting operations in multiple countries. To engage the audiences in the different geographies with diverse cultural needs, your company will need to create a core message that can be used as a base upon which to create messages that are tailored to each of your audiences.
Thought Process
• Creating core and tailored marketing messages that you can measure the effectiveness of is critical to maximizing your company brand across all stakeholder groups.
• If you were going to present this information to your management in a real-world situation, and requesting funds to support your plan, you will need to present a data driven plan with a Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) measurement strategy to be seen as credible and win support for your plan.
• In the Unit 1 assignment, Considerations in Expansion, you created profiles of all countries under consideration for initial launch and possible expansion, showing cultural and other demographic information. These profiles will help you tailor the core message to and create the tailored message and select the best delivery mechanisms for the product line(s) you have selected which you will describe in section 2. Make sure you include specifics on measurement (ROMI).
• This assignment takes you beyond the confines of the simulation, although you will be using the simulation as a construct. These recommendations will not directly apply to the simulation.
